PROVIDENCE, RI — Rhode Island is about five months into its coronavirus vaccination effort, and is on track to open eligibility to all residents aged 16 and older on Monday. To date, more than 316,000 Rhode Islanders are fully vaccinated.

Each week, the Rhode Island Department of Health breaks down the number of fully vaccinated people within each of the state's 39 cities and towns, as well as the vaccination rate per 100,000 people.

Throughout the pandemic, Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott, the department's director, has emphasized the need for equity in the state's response. As part of that effort, vaccine eligibility was broadened to residents of certain zip codes hardest-hit by the pandemic, including Woonsocket, parts of Providence, North Providence, Cranston and more.
